This was a good thing. While Forest was no stranger to the type of activities that were on display, he was a stranger to it being done in view of the public. His stomach still churned at the images that burned their way into his mind, and he knew that for the first time in his life he’d consider therapy to get over it. It did help having a nice person to talk to. The man was right. Mead, something else to look at, and Forest would add to it a nice conversation with a nice man was everything one needed to quickly not notice the sights. [color=#d4af37]“If I never see [i]that[/i] again, we're square. Haven't been here long. Almost an hour tops.”[/color] Forest shuffled his footing at the news. Another new guy amongst the crowd. While he did not know who had been here a long time or was new, he was hoping to find someone to give him the ropes, and maybe a tour to know where everything was. Still, if nothing else maybe the two could explore the compound together if nothing else. [color=#d4af37]“Elias.”[/color] Forest took a quick mental note of the name. He had met Roxxy, and now Elias. [color=#d4af37]“And I'm guessing you brewed this yourself, Forest?”[/color] Forest smiled as his creation got recognized for what it was. The dry tone of Elias did little to hide the appreciation, and Forest smiled harder as he expected a compliment to follow. [color=#d4af37]“Are you a son of Dionysus, or just dangerously handy with honey?”[/color] Forest’s eyes went large as a hand suddenly found itself positioned over his chest. His heart felt like it fluttered before it skipped a beat. Was his mead that high quality that it could elicit a complement of being dangerously handy with honey? Forest’s mind blanked for a second as he savored the sheer euphoria of the suggestion, and it was an honor. And the first question was a good feeling too. He never would even suggest that his tasty, homemade, creations were anywhere close to what a child of Dionysus could create. [color=228B22]“I can’t say I am a son of Dionysus, but I can say that Demeter is my mother,"[/color] he paused as he placed his hands on his hips, [color=228B22]“I like to work my magic into my garden, and the bees seem to have taken a liking to the flowers I created. As they say, one thing led to another."[/color] He paused as he looked around the party once more, and did not see any other tomfoolery like before. [color=228B22]“I am dangerously handy with honey, and fruits, though I will give you that."[/color] Forest offered a warm smile as his head tilted to the side ever so gently. The night was now a little more worth it thanks to the kind words and wonderful conversation offered by Elias. Forest finished off his drink in a quick gulp. While he did not want to get drunk tonight, it was still fun at the moment. He would consider another drink only if he had a drinking buddy worth talking to. [color=228B22]“Have you gotten out and explored the camp yet? I have been to the map, to my cabin, and here thus far. Not sure what else is out there as I also just got here today."[/color]
